About 40 St. Matthew’s members attended a weekend retreat where they can grow in faith and be inspired to prayerfully ponder maximizing St. Matthew's mission.

The retreat was held at Sandy Cove Retreat Center (www.sandycove.org) in Northeast, Maryland. All who attended last year raved about the facilities. The dates were Friday, Jan 17th, 2014 – Sunday, Jan 19th.

We shared in worship sessions and learning with and about each other. We were led in the review of the “Readiness 360” survey, an online survey filled out by some of the congregation, by Rev. Christopher D. Owens, from the Annapolis district of the Baltimore-Washington Conference. The results were used to measure our church’s potential and the directions we can go now and in the future. The results of the survey are on our website at http://stmatthews-bowie.org/church-growth-retreat-2014-january-17-19-2014/
